Technology Transactions

We regularly draft and negotiate a wide array of information technology agreements tailored for the Canadian market. This includes software licenses, SaaS, statements of work (SoWs), Service level agreements (SLAs) and cloud computing agreements, domestic and international outsourcing contracts, IT distribution agreements (such as Value-Added Reseller (VAR) and  Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)), joint development agreements, data licenses, and IT professional services contracts, as well as agreements for sales of hardware, semiconductors, and semiconductor IP.

We also navigate the legal complexities specific to e-commerce and the business of the Internet in Canada. This includes advising on data security, addressing online trademark and copyright issues (including fair dealing principles), and ensuring compliance with anti-spam legislation like Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). We negotiate and draft a variety of e-commerce contracts, such as Internet co-location and hosting agreements, ISP terms of service, online service level agreements (SLAs), acceptable use policies (AUPs), and link-exchange agreements

Privacy

We counsel a wide range of companies on data privacy and security terms in commercial contracts, with a focus on the evolving Canadian, European, and Californian landscapes. Our clients include cloud computing companies hosting third-party data from around the globe. This is a dynamic and rapidly changing area, given the increasing (and often inconsistent) array of potentially applicable laws.

Some of the privacy legislation and regulations that we can assist with include, Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) for health information, and Ontario's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) and Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) for public sector organizations, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the European Economic Area’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We ensure compliance with these complex, interwoven regulatory frameworks.

Intellectual Property

We provide comprehensive guidance to clients across Canada on a wide spectrum of intellectual property (IP) matters. Our team possesses specialized expertise in establishing robust trade secret plans, which are crucial for safeguarding your most valuable confidential information. This includes everything from your proprietary "secret sauce" and cutting-edge research and development to strategic business plans and other sensitive data that gives your business a competitive advantage.

Beyond trade secrets, our expert network also actively assists in protecting, managing, and maintaining diverse portfolios of other vital IP assets. This encompasses securing and enforcing your brands through trademarks, registering and defending your designs, and navigating the complexities of protecting your new technologies through patents and other appropriate IP rights. 

Our goal is to help you strategically leverage and defend your innovations and creative works within the Canadian legal framework.
